On tap at Varietal, pours an opaque muddy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly laid back, with gentle lemon peel and coriander upfront, and soft wheaty notes. Flavour is full of coriander and lemon peel with a soft wheaty base. Not sure what makes this a PNW wheat ale — it's not particularly happy. Pretty forgettable.

Pint can. Golden yellow pour with a large white head. Bright citrus aroma, faint wheat and a little spice. Sweet citrus flavor with very low bitters. A bit of lime zest. Hints of spice, but essentially hidden by the bright citrus zest and lime.

From Beer Drop. 069 on the bottom of the can. What?
It pours a straw yellow, slightly hazy, good long lasting head of foam.
Smells of wheat and grapefruit citrus.
Wheat and grapefruit citrus dominate the taste. Hints of lemon zest, also orange zest. Smooth flavours overall and a good mouthfeel.
Interesting beer and it has good quaffability.

32 oz crowler poured, picked up at Hop and Hound. Actually thought this was an IPA when I picked it up, but kinda glad I was wrong. I feel like this is a style that I never order these days, mostly because I almost never see it anymore. Not to mention this is anything but a boring wheat ale. Full of flavor, and really refreshing. Bright and clean golden appearance. Thin, patchy fizz head. Has hints of lime, lemon, citrus zest on the aroma and flavor. Enough lime to fit in nicely with any Mexican dish. Light feel, cool and easy drinking. A touch crisp. Has a lager feel to it, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. If it is, it is a flavorful lager. Overall, a unique brew here, and very enjoyable.
